ployed hy their grandmothers and
eat grandmothers, Myra Ella
Addis Zell Bills, Twala
Copeland and Louise Jarratt, all
of Stephenville. and Wanda Bord
ner and Rosellen Eberhart, both
of Bluff Dale, have just wovsn
colorful woolen scarfs on an old
hand loom. This is part of their
work in home economics st John
Tarleton College, where they are
studying clothing.
“In order to properly understand
the different types of yam and
cloth,” states Miss Mattie Walker,
head of the Tarleton home eco-
nomics department, “one must ac-
tually handle the yam in weav-
ing.” There is no better way to
do this than to use the old type
hand loom, several of which are
in the department, she states. In
comparison with the work done in
years past, the modern girl's weav-
ing is as good as her grandmoth-
er’s, the Tarleton teacher believes.
A survey revealed that few of
the girls intended to give the ar-
ticles they had woven as Christ-
mas presents. “They are too hard
to make,” said one girl; “I want
to save mine for my grandchil-
dren.”-------—
